"Now, before you think if I'm overdoing it, that if I applaud myself any harder my hands will fall off, understand I know my role. I'm a sports writer. Let's be real: I'm in it for an easy life and to type a good line here and there. But let's be real honest, too: My decisions have been better than the Dolphins' decisions in Ross' 17 years as owner."
"Ross isn't the only one frustrated by Dolphins losing newspaper stories. Imagine having to write them for a career. Imagine having to pen a Groundhog-Day obituary every year when the season is unofficially over - it came 12 days in at 0-3 this past season - while sportswriters in New England write books on their teams. Couldn't Ross study Patriots owner Robert Kraft? Maybe talk to him"
Steve Ross stopped reading newspapers out of frustration over the Miami Dolphins' losing performances. A suggestion proposed sending him coffee and selected advice columns like Miss Manners or Asking Eric to ease the habit. An advice columnist claims better personnel decisions across Ross' 17 years of ownership and offers personal counsel. The text criticizes annual media repetition of losses, noting a 0-3 start this season and premature season death notices. A recommendation urged Ross to study Patriots owner Robert Kraft and emulate New England's sustained success. The Dolphins hired a new general manager and coach to revive the franchise.
